Do Simi Valley September Homes Sales show another false positive for the real estate market? In 2009 and 2010 September sales volume for single family detached homes tailed off after a 2008 rebound over a record low in 2007. Fast forward to today and low interest rates are enticing investors and home buyers to enter the market, however pricing is still flat. The market for homes below $400,00 is still leading the way with 53% of the sales for the month. 57% of those sales are dominated by Short Sales and Bank Owned homes. 25% of all the Simi Valley SFD homes sold were snapped up by all cash buyers and 40% with conventional financing. This high percentage of Cash and Conventional buyers shows that low interest rates combined with attractive pricing is bringing savvy real estate buyers to the table.
Pricing is in a low trough at this point and has remained in this trend for most of 2011. The mid to high $200k price point has solidified a low for Simi Valley Single Family Detached Housing and only dips below this range if the properties have significant damage. A recent article from CoreLogic® (NYSE: CLGX) stated:
“Even with low interest rates, demand for houses remains muted. Home sales are down in September and the inventory of homes for sale remains elevated. Home prices are adjusting to correct for the supply-demand imbalance and we expect declines to continue through the winter. Distressed sales remain a significant share of homes that do sell and are driving home prices overall,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.“
What does this mean for housing above the $500k price point? Those homes have trended selling at 8%-10% below the original list price showing the the market absorption rate for these houses is still dictated by buyer mood. The homes between $400k to $500k experience on average only a 3%-4% drop in price from List to Sell.
We can take away the following five points
A recent report on Mashable.com on how the real estate industry is using social media reported that only 12% of Real Estate Agents have a Youtube Channel.
Going back to 2008 there was big push from the industry for Agents to purchase Flip camera; over that time Kodak has entered the Market with shirt pocket sized cameras and the emergence of the iPhone and it’s influence over video on smart phones has really made many wonder why the Real Estate Industry is so slow to adopting a Video Marketing Plan. I have been consistently been using Video in my Real Estate business since 2007, in 2003 I had a goal to video all my listing and host them online, but prior to Youtube, bandwidth and hosting was a problem, let alone people at home with computers and connections fast enough to deal with online video then.
Fast forward to today and the neglect is astonishing. The iPad and android devices have people looking for more intense visual experiences, The maturation of Youtube over the last few years has made Youtube a viable means to distribute content for a Real Estate Agent if done correctly. So why only 12%?
There is a learning curve – editing and basic equipment usage really can make a difference in the outcome of the final production quality of video. Many simply refuse to learn some new skills.
Low Self-Esteem – Yes the same people who put their name and image on everything they hand out are worried about how they will look and sound on video.
Too much work – It is simple enough to get a couple dozen photos, make a slide show and call it quits.
Most research shows that home buyers respond highly to online property information with multiple pictures. The research also shows that buyers want to see more pictures. This is where real estate Video can dovetail and provide a marketing edge over listing that only provide photos.
So the question remains … Why would a home seller hire agents that don’t provide video home tours?
